[QUOTE="marcopolo, post: 1218753, member: 152319"] Ok, Received iMAC back from repair yesterday, it was under 1st year warranty and had been playing for a couple of months up but eventually stopped booting. I was constantly repairing disk, telling me it needed to be shutdown all the time, apps crashing, etc, etc They have apparently replaced the HD and I performed a Time Machine restore which completed without any hitches. Machine was working fine, went out for a couple of hours and returned to a blank screen but unit was on. Keyboard and Mouse lights would not bring it out of suspected sleep so I had no alternative but to switch off. On power up a bar appears and gets to about 10% and the unit switches off again, disk utility has given me the same error about it cannot repair so I'm back to square one where I suspect it's [B][U]more[/U][/B] than the HD To say I'm miffed is an understatement [/QUOTE]
